The yacht originated in Holland around the 14th century.
In the middle of the 17th century, the first British royal hunting fish boat "YACHT" with real yacht significance was born. So far, the development of modern yachts has gone through four stages: the budding period, the growth period, the high-speed development period, and the stable maturity period.
From 1975, the world yacht entered 15 years of rapid development. Modern yacht characteristics began to form a focus on aesthetics and style, during which the representative countries are Japan and Italy.
Japan mainly produces fishing yachts, yachts are more entertaining, while Italy is more focused on beauty and practicality. The world yacht market has formed four major sections, mainly in the United States, Western Europe, Northern Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Europe is the second largest yachting market in the world, accounting for nearly 40% of the world's yachting market. Among them, France is the second largest yacht market in the world, ranking second only to the United States.
France exports 60% of its domestic production overseas, showing its pivotal position in this industry. After experiencing rapid development in the last decade, the French yachting industry now maintains its position as the largest yacht market in Europe.
In addition, Italy, the United Kingdom's yacht industry is also very developed, and Germany, Norway, and Finland's yacht industries also ranked among the world's top. Although the number of yachts in the United States, the average unit price of yachts is far lower than in Europe.
The Cannes Yachting Festival is Europe's undisputed top event on the water and a platform for the world's high-end yacht brands to gather.
As the opening stop of the European Yachting Festival, Cannes Yachting Festival is favoured by the world's major yacht builders for its unique and superior on-water exhibition area and good yachting culture atmosphere. It has been committed to providing a good showcase for new models and technologies. It is setting new records every year.
The Cannes Yachting Festival, which started in 1978, is held annually and has become one of the top three boat shows in Europe.
In terms of business, exhibitors expressed great satisfaction with the high quality of information and the growing number of international clients, including Asian clients from Eastern European countries and new customers.
Some boat builders predict that their sales will return to previous levels and that the Cannes Boat Show represents the latest global trends in the yachting industry. The 2019 Chagner Boat Show took place from September 10 to 15 in Port Chagner, France, with 219 of them being new products.
According to the 2019 Congress statistics, there were 560 exhibitors from more than 40 countries around the world on the show floor. More than 90% of the exhibitors were able to find new buyers. According to statistics, nearly half of the visitors are from the top of the industry.
Another special feature of the Xanadu Boat Show is the Classic Regatta, which will be held for the fifth time in 2019 on the beach area of the Old Port and is open only to powerboats and day yachts up to 12 meters.
Here you can enjoy the spectacle of rare vintage boats and newer boats competing in the same sea.
If you have the opportunity, you must come to a Xanadu yacht, bringing you a feast of luxury as well as visuals.
